Tacoma 2.5" x 12-14" Shock Relocation 2005-2023 2nd 3rd gen Archive Garage

Compare the collapsed length. If the 2.0s are shorter, no issue with bottoming out

 

Thanks for the help! Just pulled the trigger

 

Sorry one more question - Do I need the bearing spacers for 1.5" width tabs?

 

Yes

 

Sorry for all the questions.

I ordered them in 1/2" x 1.5" mounting, will that be good to go?

 

Does anyone know the proper length for remote resi hose for king shocks to mount the resi parallel to the frame? I just can't do it sideways lol.

Or if piggeyback resi is an option? Have not seen anyone use piggeyback tho.

And is there any bolt on instead of weld on resi mounts?

 

No, piggybacks do not fit, would contact rear leg of tower during articulation and axle moving around.
Hose length I think around 18", which I think is standard for Fox, whatever comes stock on Fox it works.
But king's standard hose is shorter like 16" overall I believe

Hi, I'd like to run the shock relocation kit with the hangers. While I'd love to get the archive leafs, I'd like to stick with my Icon RXT's, does anyone have insight on if I could run a 14" smoothie or do these leafs not flex enough and should stick with 12's? I'm on Icon Stage 2 leafs. Any guidance is appreciated!

 

So check out post #1237 on this thread and the next few. Basically Accutune will tell you that a 14" shock with any stock length leafs will yield suboptimal travel, so you should go with 12" shocks. That's what I did, on their advice.

Eric from Archive says that's rubbish and you should get 14s.

I'd say if you plan on doing a Chevy 63 at some point just get the 14s from the get go. I'm kinda regretting getting the 12s at this point but it is what it is.

 

Usually running option 2 or 3, with the thicker leaf in, keeps the RXTs around 12" from customers measurements.
14s will keep your options open for the future, only drawback is less gain in ground clearance

@BabyBilly What Accutune tells people is that our kit can't stuff a standard length 14" without hurting bump travel, that is false.
Our kit was designed from the beginning to stuff 2.5 x 14" with spring over.

What I say is you have to have all the components capable of 14" travel to actually achieve it.
